Dsiclaimer: I don't own Princess Tutu


He drums his fingers restlessly on the desk.

She wrings her hands and clenches them into fists.

He takes out a pen and taps it lightly to paper.

No words yet.

She plays with her necklace and grips at her pendant.

A dull shine.

He sighs.

No ideas?

Maybe a walk outside.

He walks out into the hallway.

She groans.

Can't think straight.

Maybe some fresh air.

She steps out into the hallway.

Step, step, step.

Step, step, step.

A boy passes a girl.

A girl passes a boy.

The slightest touch of fingertips.

Flushed face.

Red, rosy cheeks.

Next time, their hands will touch.

But for right now, that red string connecting them is good enough.
